Private message me if you need someone local.  

I've committed myself to being a full-time real estate investor, private money broker and real estate consultant!

The promissory note and personal guaranty are private documents that don't get recorded.

I have private money family friend who wants to fund multiple investments and since I come from the construction industry they are confident in my ability to rehab properties.

Some opt for private lending to avoid this tax and still have investments secured by RE.   

My easiest and safest bet would be to just build the outside storage lot.

California is NOT one of those states that exempts this type of lending.. there might be a small carve out for a few loans a year privately done but if you hold yourself out as a lender your need a license.

FB Marketplace is probably your best bet - You can try craigslist too but at least with FB you can do a quick scan of someone's profile before talking to them. 

While doing an Airbnb seems like a good idea it does not resolve the issue of the divorce and splitting the propertyI still think your best bet is to drop the price and sell it and start your life over.

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.
